WINTER SPORTS.

Tobogganing still continues the sport
of all outdoor winter sports, in Chicago
at least, and the three magnificent pub
lie slides, 700, 1000 and 1900 feet in
length respectively, which the city now
boasts, are FLIED with brig htly-costumed
tobogganists nightly. The weather still
continues cold and favorable for the full
enjoyment of both ice-skating and to-
bogganing, and it goes almost without
saying that when the spring sun does
finally melt the SHOWS of frosty winter
there will be many throb of regret arise
in young Chicago's heart. One does not
really enjoy tobogganing unless he goes
into it properly clothed and willing to
take plunge into the snowbank, fully
conscious that that's just what he has ex-
pected, and in anticipation of just what
he has attired himself. I saw young
man at a slide the other evening who
had come out to toboggan in high
collar, and open shirt front and a silk
hat, doeskin Dreeches, fawn-colored
English overcoat, alligator shoes and-a
cane. Upon the first slide he lost his
silk hat, got his trouser legs full of chip
ped ice and snow, pulled a sole off his
left boot, cut a cash in his neck with
the point of his collar, was fred into a
snowbank at the foot of the slide by a
fellow tobogganist THE beastly fellow
wore toboggan costume, too), who OBJ
jected to having his eye prodded out
with wildly waving cane, and then
left, swearing that tobogganing was fit
pastime only for wild Indians and back
woods Canucks. A man should as soon
think of going Devastating in dress
suit as to go tobogganing in anything
but warm wool blanket suit, light but
warm, and cut after the regulation tobog-
gan outfit, with moccasins and wool hose,
and the same rule may apply to ladies.
Tobogganists of both sexes should go
dressed for the sport if they want to en-
Joy it.
The "Star" toboggan has taken the
precedence in the American toboggan
market. There were not 1000 toboggans
all told sold in the United States last
year, and A. G. Spalding & Bros. have
sold 10000 "Stars" thus far this year,
and are behind their orders

SOMERS.

Wintry yet. On Sunday last the
thermometer went down to eight be-
low zero, and remained nearly station
airy until Monday.
On account of the cold weather the
churches were but SHINY attended.
The previous Sabbath the Methodist
minister did not appear, and only six
persons were present. At the Presby-
terrain church some four or five teams
ventured out and few on foot.
That rain storm Of a week ago Sat-
urday was a relief to many farmers,
especially those who had to haul water
miles for a-large number of cattle, and
it seems as if there would be no lack
of water again this winter unless we
have a continuation of severe cold.
Cisterns that have long been empty
were replenished.
The Presbyterian oyster supper was
success, considering the roads and
weather. 1T would SEEM" remarked
a New York man from the snow
